Indicates a corner post (see Glossary) placed at the intersection of each goal line and touch line. A corner post is in touch in-goal. Touch Judges should at all times ensure that corner posts are correctly positioned. 3. The goal posts are considered to extend indefinitely upwards. It is recommended that the bottom two metres of each upright be padded, shaped goal posts are permissible provided the relevant dimensions are observed. 4. For adult games the dimensions should be as near maximum as possible to the dimensions stipulated. 5. The broken lines in the field-of-play should consist of marks or dots on the ground not more than two metres apart. All transverse lines must be marked across the full width of the field. 6. Preferably, unbroken coloured lines, 10cms in width, across the field and adjacent to the current white lines which mark the 20m and 40m lines are to be used. 7. Whilst the diagram above indicates an in-goal area of between 6 and 11 metres, the accepted “norm” for the in-goal area is 8 metres. SECTION 2: THE BALL Shape The game shall be played with an oval, air-inflated ball, the outer casing of which shall be of a material approved by Canada Rugby League Association. Nothing shall be used in its construction which might prove dangerous to the players. Size and Weight An International size ball shall be used - the dimensions of which shall be those approved by Canada Rugby League Association. Ball deflated The Referee shall blow his whistle immediately he/she notices that the size and shape of the ball no longer comply with the Laws of the Game. SECTION 3: THE PLAYER/PLAYERS’ EQUIPMENT The game shall be played by two teams each consisting of not more than 13 players on the field at any one time. The minimum number of players per team allowed on a full-sized field at any one time in a match is 8. The match 3 CANTAG shall be terminated should a team’s current participants be reduced to less than 8 players. Pitch size may be reduced to allow for modified games, player numbers may be reduced to no less than 5 per team provided that pitch dimensions are reduced. a) Each team may utilise Interchange players during the course of a match provided that the names of the Interchange players are made known to the Referee before the commencement of the match. Interchanges will only be affected after a player has left the field. The replacement takes the field immediately in an onside position with the permission of a Touch Judge/Interchange Official. League governing bodies may choose to adopt either unlimited or limited Interchange rules for individual competitions. b) Each player and interchange player on a team shall use a pair of tags per game of a colour that does not clash with tags of the opposing side. c) A player shall not wear anything that might prove dangerous to other players. A player’s normal gear shall consist of a numbered jersey of distinctive colour and/or pattern, a pair of shorts with Velcro (or equivalent) tabs attached, football socks of distinctive colour and/or pattern and studded boots or shoes. Skin tight shorts (bicycle shorts, Skins) are not permitted. Skins may be worn under the shorts but must not have the Velcro tab attached. Belts are not recommended due to potential for finger injury. Jerseys must be tucked into shorts to ensure that the tags are not obstructed. Each team will have a set of tags of distinctive colour. Tags shall be consistent with opposing team tags. CANTAGS are strongly recommended. CANTAGS are constructed using a flexible PVC/cotton (or equivalent) material shaped as shown below. Tags are to be pinched and sewn together approximately 10 cm below the top of the tag. When attached to shorts, the bottom of the tag shall extend away from the players body: < < 8-10cm > Vecro ~ 9cm x 2.5cm 34 Stitch joining two-halves of tag. - 36 Approx. 2cm long and approx. cm 10cm from top of tag < 11-13 cm > > Figure 2: Tag Template Velcro tab attached to shorts shall be a maximum of 6cm x 6cm. Protective clothing may be worn provided it contains nothing of a rigid or dangerous nature. (No peaked caps or jewellery may be worn). Tags/Velcro/clothing may not be tampered with in any way. The Referee shall order a player to remove any equipment which might be considered dangerous (or tampered with as per previous paragraph) and shall not allow the player to take any further part in the game until the player has complied with this request. The player shall retire from the playing field to remove the offending item if the start or re-start of the game would otherwise be delayed. 4 CANTAG Note: Current participants are players on the field and players who have been temporarily suspended (sin bin or blood bin). Dismissed players are not deemed as current participants. Interchanges: A player other than a player who is replacing an injured player who has left the field cannot be interchanged during a play-the-ball except when play is stopped because of injury. If an interchange is affected when a kick at goal is to be taken, the interchange player shall not be allowed to take the kick. Inspect Equipment Referees should inspect players’ equipment before the start of the game or delegate this duty to the Touch Judges. This does not relieve the player of the responsibility of ensuring that nothing of an offending nature is worn, nor rings, projecting metal on football boots, or long fingernails. SECTION 4: MODE OF PLAY Standard games are played over two 25-minute periods with a 5-minute interval between halves, and extra time may be used to determine a winner following a drawn match at the completion of normal time. Provincial associations may amend playing periods as considered appropriate based on factors including. But not limited to, age of participants, number of players per side, competition type (e.g. recreational, competitive, co-ed, one-day tournament). The object of the game shall be to ground the ball in the opponents’ in-goal to score tries and to kick the ball over the opponents’ cross bar to score goals. SECTION 5: SCORING – TRIES AND GOALS A try shall count for 4 points. A successful conversion goal or a penalty goal shall count for 2 points. A drop goal during play shall count for 1 point. When scoring a try, two tags must be intact. If the ball is grounded with only one tag (unless the tag came off when the player made contact with the ground in the act of scoring), it shall result in a “no try” and play will be re- started with a play-the-ball to the attacking team 10 metres out from where the ball was grounded. The tag count shall continue unless after the 5th tag, which shall result in a handover, 10 metres out from where the ball was grounded. 5 CANTAG In the event of a late tag (i.e. where a tag has been removed, whether intentional or not, after the ball has been passed or kicked) the advantage rule should apply. The Referee shall indicate a “late tag” and award the try. Competitive games shall be won by the team scoring the greater number of points. If both teams score an equal number of points, or if both teams fail to score, then the game shall be drawn unless competition rules specifies extra time be played. Non-competitive games shall be officially scored as 20 – 20 draws. A try is scored when a player first grounds the ball in his/her opponent’s in-goal, provided that he/she is not in touch or touch in-goal, or on or over the dead ball line.
